Causes		of	damage
Saucepan		and pan bases		Rough saucepan bases scratch the glass ceramic.
				Check your ovenware.
				Avoid cooking on the hob with an empty pan,
				especially with enamel and aluminium pans. This
				could cause damage to the saucepan bases and
				glass ceramic.
				Observe the manufacturer's instructions when using
				special		ovenware.
Hot	pans	and	saucepans	Do not place hot pans or saucepans on the contr
				panel, display area or the frame.
				This	could cause damage.
Twist	knob			Do	not place the twist knob on the hotplates. It c
				be	damaged.
				The	twist knob is magnetic. Metal parts attached		to
				the underside could scratch the glass ceramic hob
				surface. Always wipe the twist knob thoroughly.
Salt	sugar and		sand	Salt, sugar and sand cause scratches on the glass
				ceramic. Do not use the hob as a work surface o
				storage		space.
Hard	and	pointed objects		Damage		can occur if hard or pointed objects fall	o
				the	hob.
				Do not store such objects above the hob.
Food	spills			Sugar and food with a high sugar content damage
				hob. Remove food spills immediately with a glass
				scraper.
				Caution The glass scraper has a sharp blade.
Foil	and	plastic		Aluminium foil or plastic containers melt on hot
				hotplates.
				Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.

Scratches

caused by salt, sugar or sand particles or from rou pan bases.

Shimmering metallic discoloration

caused by pan abrasion or the use of unsuitable cleaning agents.

Scuffed surface caused by using unsuitable cleaning agents.

Caution	The	residual	heat	indicator will no longer come on
	after	a power cut.		The hotplates could still be hot.

Twistpad with removable twist knob

Twistpad

The twistpad is the area in which you select the hotplates with the twist knob and can set heat settings.

The twist knob automatically centres itself in the twistpad.

Twist knob

The	twist knob	is magnetic and is placed on the
twistpad. You can activate				the	corresponding		hotplat
by	pushing the	twist	knob	in	the direction	of	the a
You	can adjust	the	heat setting by turning			the twis

knob.

Removing the twist knob You	can	remove the	twist	knob.	This	makes cleanin
easier.
You	can	also remove	the	twist	knob	while the hotp

is in operation. All the hotplates will switch off automatically after 3 seconds.

		If you place a metal object on the twistpad within
		3 seconds the hob may continue to heat up. For t
		reason always switch off the hob using the main
		switch.
Storing	the twist knob	The twist knob contains a strong magnet. Keep the
		twist knob away from magnetic data carriers such
		video cassettes diskettes credit cards or cards with
		magnetic strips. The data these contain could
		otherwise be wiped.
		It can also cause interference in television sets and
		monitors.
		For carriers of electronic implants
		e.g. a pacemaker an insulin pump.
		Implants could be affected by magnetic	fields.
		You must therefore never carry the twist knob in a
		pocket in your clothing. It must be kept	at least
		from pacemakers.
Spare	knob	If you cannot find your twist knob your	hob has
		another magnetic spare knob that you can use
		temporarily to operate your hob.

12

The spare knob is not suitable for continuous operation. If you cannot find your original twist knob please ask our after"sales service for a replacement.

*Ongoing cooking without lid

Tips	on		saving
energy
				Use saucepans and pots with thick even bases.
				Uneven bases increase the cooking time.
The correct			saucepan	size Select the correct saucepan size for each hotplate.
				The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and p
				should match the size of the hotplate.
				Note: Ovenware manufacturers often give the
				diameter of the top of the saucepan.			It is usually
				than	the diameter of the	base of the	saucepan.
				Use	a small saucepan for	small quantities. A larger
				less full saucepan requires more energy.
Using	a	lid		Saucepans and pots should always be covered with
				suitable lid. Cooking without a lid requires much m
				energy.
Cooking		with small		Cook	with small quantities of water This saves ener
quantities		of	water	and	helps vegetables to retain vitamins		and minerals

Lowering the heat setting Switch down to a lower heat setting in good time.

17

Using residual heat	For longer	cooking times		switch off the hotplate 5
	minutes	before	the end of the cooking time.
	As long as	the	residual	heat indicatorH is lit	you can
	still use the hotplate which has already been
	switched off for		warming	up or melting	food.

Timer function

The timer is an electronic clock. It	can be used to
switch off any of the four hotplates	automatically.

The timer also has a cooking timer. It runs independently of all the other settings. This means that it can still be set when the hob is locked.

Setting a hotplate to switch off automatically

Setting

procedure

Enter a specific duration for the desired hotplate. When the duration has elapsed the hotplate switch off automatically.

The hotplate must be switched on.

1. Use the twist knob to select the hotplate.
